    I would sell the barrel and brass if you are interested.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    80eldx. Too much again. I’ll be going back to a slower 6.5 next year. These 22 cal bullets at 3k are too destructive at the closer ranges I normally am shooting.

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    A small neck may not give the depth needed for upset. Depends on bullet, but they all don’t upset immediately. Most of the reason I don’t take neck shots. Small target especially on a doe.

    What's a good public land whitetail state in the midwest?

    Cause I know better than to waste my time hunting public in wi during gun deer. You western boys don’t know pressure like seeing 6 trucks hunting 1 40 OP I’d do wi and come with a cross bow first week of November. Pretend it’s a gun. Stay away from the northern third and enjoy doe tags for...

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    It’s a neck friction issue, likely not a tension issue. Rub some imperial wax over the rim, followed by a turning mandrel and a dry tumble. Freshly annealed brass has a lot of friction. Beyond going with very light actual interference fit, you’re not going to fix this problem without a wet...

    Suppressors

    I’d want a 6-7” on a 22” barrel. If willing to go shorter, like 18” I think a bigger suppressor does cut down on more recoil.

    Suppressors

    I’d want a bigger suppressor for that much powder. Unless you’re keeping the barrel long. Everything is a trade off with suppressors.

    Suppressors

    That or oil does the opposite. Just attracts carbon. I keep my cb brakes dry and wipe them off periodically. I havnt gotten one stuck yet.

    You would have shit if you saw euro optics deals a few weeks ago.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    My prefit at the beginning of this thread is a .100 freebore chamber. You can see where the 88 sits in the first couple pages. I think .120 would be more ideal but wouldn’t be a deal breaker. I’d buy another .100 freebore 22 creed without worry.

    6mm Berger choices

    I havnt used them but I know people do. The 108 elite hunter has a similar hybrid profile. Worth a try. I’m personally not a huge fan of what bergers do on deer but I won’t shoot anything else at targets.

    6mm Berger choices

    Ehh, Berger could probably ditch the whole vld line and still not be able to keep up. 105 hybrid is thee 6mm bullet. I’m not sure for hunting, but for shooting there is something special about that one.

    Antelope Skull Maceration

    Also crack the ear tubes out with a screw driver, there’s gunk in the . Oxy clean didn’t get it as white as I’d like. I ended up doing a few coats along with rinses of this. After 5 days my skull ended up pretty white. Rinsed it off and clear coated the skull...

    Antelope Skull Maceration

    I did a dawn wash, and filled them with borax for a few weeks prior to mounting them. Beeswax/mineral oil paste I put on wood knife handles worked good on the outside to restore the natural color.

    The 22 creedmoor thread

    If money and time were no object this is the barrel I would go with. Sounds like the perfect 22 creed hunting barrel That freebore is very versatile in the event 88s don’t shoot

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    They torque their barrels to 100ft lbs. I don’t see them making anything that is held by hand tight and a set screw. Once your original barrel is off it takes minimal tools to swap barrels.

    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    Deer shot with guns don’t always bleed like you would think they would. Same can be said for bow shot deer at times. We are spoiled by a large blood trail at times, and forget there is a lot more to tracking deer. Luckily you watched where he went and used your head. I wouldn’t have...

    Pressure: when is too much and why?

    Pretty fine line between, ohh my barrel is just fast, while numbers suggest pushing 70+k psi and having your rifle go click on a hunt because the primer you pierced ended up in your bolt or trigger.

    RokStok

    Same reason primers are 10 cents each now. Free market… but shooters are just kicking other shooters in the balls with the grab and sell. I would have bought one to use. I wasn’t fast enough.
